Oh, Hi starts with Iris telling someone off-screen that she’s done something bad. The film then flashes back about 30 hours to cute couple—Iris and Isaac (played by Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman), singing in a car on their way to a weekend getaway.
They stop to get strawberries, dance, fool around, and Isaac cooks Iris a nice dinner. They find handcuffs in a closet (they're at an Airbnb or something similar) and decide to use them for fun. Everything is going well and is fun, until Iris refers to them as a couple, and Isaac basically says, “Huh? We’re not a couple.” Unfortunately for him, he’s still in the handcuffs when this happens.
Iris is shattered, and while I know no woman likes being called crazy... she definitely becomes quite crazy, and Isaac essentially becomes a hostage. Things spiral and become ridiculous, even more so when Iris’s best friend and the friend’s boyfriend arrive at the house.
There were some laughs, but overall, it felt too over the top for me. I've seen people compare it to a modern-day 'Misey', which I can see but it doesn't get nearly as dark.
This movie just wasn’t for me. Iris and her friends were a bit too unhinged and annoying. I did like Isaac, though, I was rooting for him the whole time. I did wonder who the filmmakers were hoping people would side with.
If it ends up on a streaming platform, sure, give it a look, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to see it.
